The pistol was offered with both a burnished and a nickel-plated metal surface. The pistol has hard rubber grips.

The pistol was used as a service weapon by the police, officers of the Imperial Army, officers of the Reichswehr and the Reichsbahn police. After the Second World War the pistol was used by the police in Bavaria as a service weapon. Approximately 275,000 Model 4 pistols were made.
